SMOKING APPARATUS Filed June 5, 1955 Patented June 15, 1937 UNITEDSTATES SMOKING APPARATUS George F. Heubeck, Baltimore, Md.

Application June 3,

1 Claim.

This invention relates to improvements in smoking apparatus; and moreparticularly, pipe. cigar and cigarette holders wherein a dry cool smokeis obtained by causing the smoke to travel 5 over an extended surfaceintermediate the source of smoke and the mouth piece. Many efforts havebeen made to accomplish this result by air vents, metal tube inserts,pads and wells for the collection of saliva, but few, if any, have been1o successful as in most cases the obstruction becomes clogged and soonpasses its period of usefulness.

The principal object of my invention resides in providing a largecylinder surface over which 15 the smoke must pass, thus giving it achance to cool and lose-the moisture present therein.

Another object is to provide tortuous passage-- Ways formed on theexterior of the cylinder, said cylinder containing receptacles for thecollection 20 of moisture.

Still another object is to provide a simplied structure which is easilytakenapart for clean- Other objects will be disclosed in the specica- 25tion and drawing forming a part of this application.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a vertical section of a smoking pipe;

Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2--2 of Fig- 30 ure 1;

Figure 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a detailed perspective of the cylinder removed from thesmoke receptacle; and

Figure 5 is a modification adapted to be used as a cigar holder.

Referring tothe drawing in which similar parts are designated by likenumerals:

Numeral 6 designates a pipe having a bowl 1 40 with an upwardly slantingpassage 8 connecting with a smoke chamber 9. Within the smoke chamber 9is placed a shell I0 having an opening I in alignment with the passage8. Threaded into the shell I0 is a cylinder I I having baffles I2 45 andchannels I 3. A passage I4 connects with the inner surface I of thehollow cylinder II. A discharge exit I8 formed in one of the channels I3connects with a passage II in stem I8. One end I9 of the stem I8 fitsinto a housing 20 50 formed integral with the cylinder II. Between theWall 2| of the housing 20 and the end I9 of the stem is formed a pocket22 to collect moisture.

Within the hollow cylinder II lmay be placed absorbent cotton 23 (orsimilar material) im- 55 pregnated with menthol, oil of peppermint, orsimilar ingredients, to serve as a strainer for the smoke and permit thesmoker to inhale the ingredients placed on the cotton.

As actually used, the smoke will be drawn from 1935, Serial No. 24,740

the bowl I through the passage 8 into the chamber 9 through the openingI0 in the shell I0, through the cotton 23, if the same be used, and inturn through the passage I4 into the channel I3. The shell I0 fitssnugly around the cylinder II and contacts with the baffles I2 so thatthe smoke must pass from the channels I3 containing the exit I6, thesmoke pursuing a weaving course through the various channels and aroundthe bales until it has completed the circuit of the cylinder, passingout through the discharge exit I6 into the pocket 22 and in turn throughthe stem IB to the smokers mouth. The weaving course of the smokeaffords an opportunity for the smoke to cool, deposit moisture in thechannels, and come to the mouth of the smoker devoid of many of theobjections present in pipe smoking.

Myl pipe may be quickly taken apart, cleaned and reassembled withoutdifficulty, and presents exposed surfaces which may be readily cleaned.

Figure 5 shows a modified form of my invention comprising the samestructure, except that a cigar holder is substituted for the pipe bowl.It is also understood that this can likewise be used as a cigaretteholder with slight modications.

Numerous variations may doubtless be devised by persons skilled in theart without departing frgm the principles of my invention. I, therefore,desire no limitations to be imposed on my invention, except such as areindicated in the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A smoking device comprising a member provided with a tobacco receivingrecess and with a smo-ke receiving chamber, a shell slidable withfriction t in said chamber, and having an opening in the end thereofadjacent said recess, said member having a passageway sloping upwardlyfrom said recess into communication with the opening in said shell, asmoke cooling structure fitting slidably and rotatably with friction fitin said shell, said structure being provided on its outer surfaces witha series of connecting channels separated by bales, said channels beingprovided with elongated baffles spaced from the walls of the channelsand forming spreaders to cause the smoke to pass around the oppositesides of the spreaders, one end of said series of channels having apassageway connected with said smoke chamber and the other end having asmoke exit, and a mouthpiece detachably secured to said structure, andhaving a bore therethrough parallel to the axis of said shell andstructure and displaced upwardly with respect to said axis, said smokeexit being formed as a passageway downwardly directed from the upperpart of said structure to the bore of said mouthpiece.
